ence to the inclosed annual announcement will show that the curriculum
is well adapted to the present needs of the teachers of the puhhc schools.
The text-books in use are those recommended by the State Board of
Education. A daily record of attendance, deportment and scholarship
has been kept, and much progress has been made by the students in all
the classes.
The entire work done during the year has been satisfactory. The
Literary and Temperance Societies have held their meetings regularly
and have accomplished much good.
The closing exercises, which took place during the last week of the
term, were well attended and many complimentary remarks were ten-dered
to the Faculty, both orally and in the columns of the Fayetteville
Observer.
The annual address was delivered by Rev. J. T. Gibbons on Wednes-day
evening, *:o0 o'clock. The effort was a grand one and did justice to
the speaker and the occasion.
Upon the whole, it may be said that the school is in a good condition
and fulfilling nobly and well the mission for which it was established.
The assistant teachers have been faithful in the discharge of their respect-ive
duties.
It is a matter of deep regret that an institution in so prosperous a con-dition
as this one, should have lost one-fourth of its funds during the
year, ami we hope that the Legislature will, at its next session, make the
usual appropriation.
"We pray the Superintendent of Public Instruction to use his influence
and procure for this school a liberal share of the Peabody Fund, that the
usefulness of this institution be not impaired by the recent act of the
Legislature.
It is plainly evident that the enviable reputation for usefulness
made by the Fayetteville Normal School, should be maintained by the
good people of the State. If this is not done, the work cannot reach that
measure of success which it has enjoyed during each of the fourteen
years of its existence.
It will be remembered that the building in which the school is taught
is furnished us free of rent by the colored people of Fayetteville, with
the understanding that we keep it well insured and repaired.
In consideration of these facts, it is necessary that something be done
or the work will be crippled.
To all who have assisted me so generously during the year, and con-tributed
so liberally to my success, am I indebted; and to none am I
more obligated than to the Local Board of Managers who, by their wis-dom
and kindness, have aided me in carrying forward this work.
The report of Mr. J. D. Williams, the Treasurer, will fully explain the
financial condition of the school.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
G. H. WILLIAMS, Principal.
